Weiner returns in theater of the absurd

“”I have heard the ‘It’s not the crime it’s the cover-up’ take on this many times; perhaps that’s right,” former Rep.

But the way that the revelations were reported, sneered at and joked about makes it obvious that they would have garnered as much attention with or without my transparency.” (Interesting take. Yes, let’s just blame it all on reporters and their sinister pursuit to uncover the man in the bulging gray shorts.)
